Re: Workshop for department heads

I agree that SLI is a tremendous program and it can help anyone in a leader=
ship role. But the work of a department chair can be very particular. Last =
year I ran a year-long program for our chairs, of varying experience, with =
the theme of "How do I be a more effective department chair?" I found Rodne=
y LaBrecque's book _Effective Department and Team Leaders_ a great help. It=
's out of print, but you can find it through used dealers via Amazon or B&N=
.

SLI is a wonderful program! I was a participant several years ago, and
I was incredibly impressed with the program NAIS and Triangle Associates
put together.
